Why does it matter? Can't we move on? There is a thin line between moving forward and forgetting. The occurrence of collective amnesia did not happen only by mistake or overnight. Correctly remembering what happened during Martial Law is important, especially amidst ongoing conversations that attempt to revise history. While others have made attempts through social media platforms to cement the Martial Law's place in our cultural memory, we have a clear social responsibility to be accountable for our actions and be conscious of its impact on others and in our communities. Truths are learned to be remembered and not to be forgotten. There is nothing wrong with forgiving and moving forward, but what makes things hard to digest is when accountability is neglected. In that case, chances are, Filipinos will find it hard to value, defend, and promote our freedom. To be reminded to #NeverForget does not necessarily mean holding a grudge until our very last breath.

ILOILO CITY, Oct. 21 (PIA) – The Department of Education (DepEd)-Regional Office 6 is asking teachers and parents to continue supporting students in their studies using the different delivery methods.
In a radio interview on the government radio program Bayanihan sa Kauswagan over Aksyon Radyo Iloilo, DepEd-6 Education Support Division chief Dr. Amelita Pitalgo said teachers and parents should not be too hard on students as they continue learning amid a pandemic.
“Let them do it by themselves, let them assess what they have learned,” she said, asking parents to refrain from answering the modules, which is part of the learning delivery methods utilized by the department.
Pitalgo said parents must only monitor how their children finish their tasks.
The numerous competencies had been trimmed down to the “Most Essential Learning Competencies” so that students will be able to learn on their own, with guidance from their parents.
Classes started on October 5 under DepEd’s Learning Continuity Plan which it has worked on since April, said Pitalgo.
Without face-to-face classes due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), DepEd is using the online learning, modular, blended learning, and radio or tv-based instruction.
“Despite the pandemic, learning must continue, education must continue,” she said.
She added that DepEd is providing different interventions like psycho social services and virtual training, and incorporating sports or physical activities to learning methods. (LTP/CBA/PIA-6)
